Definitions
- the present disclosure is generally related to a laser projector and more particularly is related to a portable laser projector and enclosure for use in hazardous environments.
- Laser projection is a useful tool in manufacturing processes.
- Laser projectors can be used for non-contact vision Inspection and visual pattern guidance.
- Laser projections are used extensively in composite ply construction for aircraft manufacturing. Rapid kitting is accomplished using laser projection to indicate locations of numerous small items on large sheets of stock. Nested parts are often cut in separate areas of a large sheet to optimize material usage. Consequently, the parts for one kit may be grouped with the parts to another.
- Laser projectors are used to highlight parts in sequence for kitting. Names, kit numbers and other nomenclature may also be projected.
- Laser projection can eliminate the need for costly tooling, templates or layouts. The ability to view the exact location of an object without the use of additional tooling results in cost savings.
- Laser projected shapes can assist in outlining designs on large objects, such as planes, buses, boats and trains, for paint masking. Current methods require extensive measuring and can be painstaking and time consuming.
- Laser projection can provide an accurate reference line on objects for paint masking applications.
- paint booths present a problem in that various hazardous and explosive gases are associated with paint booths. Association of laser projectors with paint booths is considered a safety risk, deterring realization of the prospective cost savings of laser projection templates for paint masking.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for laser projection in an explosive environment. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows.
- the system contains a purge chamber.
- a substantially optically transparent wall is formed along the purge chamber.
- a laser projector is mounted within the purge chamber. The laser projector is positioned to project a laser beam through the substantially optically transparent wall.
- the present disclosure can also be viewed as providing methods for providing laser projection in an explosive environment.
- one embodiment of such a method can be broadly summarized by the following steps: projecting an image onto an object with a laser projector; operating the laser projector from within a purge chamber; projecting the image through a substantially optically transparent wall of the purge chamber; and controlling an environment within the purge chamber.
